The industry standard for M&V plans, both in the U.S. and internationally, is the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP), owned by the nonprofit Efficiency Valuation Organization. LEED has singled out Volume III of the IPMVP guidance as the basis of its requirements, and several organizations have published M&V guidelines based on IPMVP. Among them are the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE); the U.S.

The owner’s goals and IPMVP guidelines should drive the M&V plan, which should specify the systems to be submetered, those to be spot-metered, and how this will be accomplished. The plan also explains the infrastructure design, locations of meters and meter specifications, the one-line electrical schematics identifying end-use circuits, and the details of tenant submetering. However, tenant submetering is not actually required for this credit—only for EAc5.2: Measurement and Verification—Tenant Submetering.
